White Tiger

Meanwhile....

"My god, what kind of weapon was that?" 

Just right behind the Marine flagship, Rear Admiral Momonga was currently having a conversation with his fellow Rear Admiral.

"Don't ask me, why are you here again?" Momonga asked, 

"Hey, my ship still following the convoy behind. The Commander gave us his command, no discourse, i follow, it's simple." Said the man beside him, Momonga's face scowled slightly seeing his fellow Rear Admiral Yamakaji stood beside him.

Wearing Marine justice coat, Yamakaji is a tall and broad-chested man, a round nose with prominent nostrils, thick lips, and a wide, round chin. His face was always painted with a cheerful smile, making it hard for anyone to guess his intention. He also smoke a cigar which Momonga hate.

When Kimimaro got the mission to escort Vegapunk back to his hometown. He handpicked his convoy team by himself, they were Rear Admiral Momonga, Yamakaji, Strawberry, Dalmatian, and Tokikake. 

The other Vice Admiral such as Sakazuki, Borsalino and his friend Kuzan couldn't join as they have their own mission to complete, It couldn't be helped as the current Marine was still lacking in manpower due to unrest happened everywhere in the world.

As for the team Kimimaro chose. They were deemed powerful enough to join him on his mission, Tokikake and Enel were specialized in long distance combat while Kimimaro and the rest were close combatants. 

Kimimaro had already calculate who, what, and where they might face an ambush, and so far, everything had been happened according to his prediction.

Dr. Vegapunk value had skyrocketted after he received an award from World Governement. No Pirates within their right mind would miss such opportunity! 

Having Vegapunk in their ranks would mean having the biggest gun within the current era!
